FABB Events Birmingham

Hi Guys, 

So on Sunday I went along to the FABB bloggers event in Birmingham. Now if you're not sure what FABB events is, it's two girls, Ray and Torr, who arrange blogging events that bring brands and bloggers together. The great part is you don't know what brands will be at the event until you arrive so there's a great element of surprise. 

The event was held in Alfie Birds in the Bustard Factory - it was such a perfect location, there were multiple floors to explore and the venue also provided food and drink if needed. There was a real rustic feel to the place which I loved and just at the entrance of the building there was a small pool with seating around. 

 Now there were so many amazing different brands at the event - but 2 that really stood out to me were StyleSkin Fur and MeMeMe Cosmetics. I had never heard of StyleSkin before but oh my gosh I'm glad I know about them now! They have the most beautiful range of fur bags, gilets and jackets. I feel head over heels in love with a monochrome gilet *hurry up payday*.

 MeMeMe Cosmetics had a truly amazing stand, I had heard of this brand before but never really tried the products. I'm genuinely so impressed with the range of make up that they offer and colour ranges and I'm so excited to try out the products in my goody bag from them! 

Now there so many other amazing brands were at the event - I've shown a few photos below to show little snippets of what the event was like and what brands were there. I also had a photo with Tor who amazingly pulled this event together. (Go & check her out here!)

 I would definitely recommend going to a FABB event if one pops up by you! For £10 a ticket you really can't go wrong :)

I've also done a video showing what was in my good bags in more detail - I warn you though it's a good 20 minutes long so grab a  cuppa before you start watching.

Matte Lipstick Love

Hi Guys, 

So today I bring you a true beauty budget product. For a while I've been on the hunt for some matte lipsticks, I never used to be a fan but more recently it's all I can see on Pintrest, Instagram and I must admit seeing all these pretty matte lip looks I wanted to get in on the action! 

So I set out and managed to find four AMAZING colours.

These lipsticks are from MUA, I got mine at Superdrug and they only cost £1 each! Yes you did read that right only £1! That's only a hundred pennies - such a bargain!

So the colours that I got, from left to right, Totally Nude, Pouty Pink, Lilac Belle and Scarlett Siren. As you can see these lipsticks are actually really pigmented, especially for only being a pound! My personal favourite is Lilac Belle, it's a very adventurous colour for me but I think that
now it's Spring it's acceptable to try and pull off lilac lips. 

One thing I will add though is that because these are matte lipsticks they are very drying, so girls   make sure you moisturise your lips before applying this lipstick - we all know chapped lips and dry lipstick are one of the worlds biggest no go's. 

I thought I had to share this find with you all, as well or £1 you just can't go wrong :)

Seventeen Cheek Stamp Blush

Hi guys, so today's post is on a fairly new product the Seventeen Cheek Stamp Blush. I picked up the colour 'Made You Look' at my local Boots for £4.99. I saw this product on the shelf and to be honest at the time I didn't really know what this product was I just saw that it was something new that I hadn't tried or heard of before and low and behold it appeared in my basket (this is showing some serious shopoholic signs).

Now it was only when I got home that I realised this wasn't an ordinary blush - the packaging is something very different and nothing like I'd seen before. The blush is contained within a small pot with a mirror on the upper lid. Inside the bottom half of the pot is a sponge blush applicator and in the roof of the lid is the blush product itself. So the idea is every time you open this pot there will be blush on the applicator ready and waiting to use. 

Now I did get pretty excited and thought this was a genius idea, however when I actually tried this technique out I was marjorly disappointed!  The blush applicator quite literally transfers the blush like a stamp - hence the name - and I found that the colour was hard to blend out it felt literally like I was rubbing the pastel chalks you use to have at school on my face. I've tried to show below what I mean by the Stamp effect and how harsh the colour is when trying to blend it out. (first photo without flash and second with)

So overall I do think that the concept and idea of this product is good but if I'm honest girls this just wasn't for me and I won't be buying any other colours. 

Have you brought this product - did you like it? Let me know!
